Evolutionary diet. Review

Yesterday Manu Villar told us about diets. He started telling us the principles of paleo-diet. This type of diet is just based in the theory that humans are adapted genetically to eat a particular type of food, the food that consumed our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Then, they tend to consume wild food avoiding processed food considering agriculture the origin of food’s manipulation. Stop eating processed and refined food is the key to avoid modern diseases as cancer, hypertension, hypoglycemia, etc. In the other side we find veganism that chooses to avoid consuming animal products including dairy and eggs but also considering processed and refined food unhealthy. Two sides of the same coin. At the end of the session, after discussing about pros and cons of following strict diets, no mater what scientific or emotional principles they defend, we can take for sure that eating refined and processed food is not the best choice for your health.
